“In the matter of only a few weeks, MEOCS investigators have seized more than 30kg of prohibited drugs with an estimated potential street value of almost $9 million,” Detective Superintenden McErlain said.

“While this is a great result, we still have more work to do on this investigation; we expect to make further arrests in the near future.

“MEOCS detectives work side-by-side with investigators throughout NSW to target criminal activity that puts our community at risk, which includes targeting the supply of these poisons.

“Our key challenge is reducing demand for all illicit drugs, and to truly effect change, the entire community needs to be involved.”

Police are urging anyone with information in relation to drug supply in the community to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
